Note; GXH (sheet 1). This was a station operated by the U.S. Navy at Thurso, Scotland and broadcast simultaneously with NMN, NAM, NRK, NAR, and AOK (Rota, Spain) . The nine recordings cover subjects from Navarea warnings, to Wx bulletins, Atlantic Gulf Stream positions to Piracy cautions Red Sea area and Persian Gulf restrictions due to the Iran – Iraq conflict. The quality varies due to frequent jamming by Russian stations, but some interesting content is in there.
